You do not need SSL unless you want SSL. Tomcat works just fine without it, both as a standalone and as an Apache extension.
But I don't know what the answer is if your Apache server is already configured for SSL. You're operating outside of my comfort zone. :) I don't use SSL.
You need Tomcat (whether through Apache or standalone) in order to access the JSP. Just going to the JSP through http:// without a Java engine (a.k.a. Tomcat) won't work.

Just an after thought here... Even though I can access the JSP from my web
site in Apache, I just tried to access it through the https:// protocol. It
just hung and did not load. Do I have to configure something in Tomcat to
allow for SSL connection to the JSP's? I am looking at Jakarta's site and
it is saying that when using Tomcat as a standalone server, SSL has to be
configured. But when running Tomcat primarily as a Servlet/JSP container
behind another web server, such as Apache the SSL is configured on the web
server, which it is (I already have a certificate). What am I missing? The
only time I will need to access Tomcat from my web site is over a secure
connection.
Sorry for the trivial questions, as I said I'm new to this. Thanks in

Thank you so much for getting back to me about that. I have just been
trying to read up on the mod_jk, and was hoping there was another option.
I do have one more question though related to running JSP with Tomcat. If I
make my entire form JSP, and run from within Tomcat, and after it
communicates with the payment server, an updated JSP page will be displayed
(depending on the data received from the bank). Would I still have to make
the connection between Apache and Tomcat? It would basically be a link from
my website to the form, which will be JSP. I put up a dummy page and had a
link to one of the example JSP that came with Tomcat. The link worked Ok,
and the servlet ran fine.
Thanks again!

BTW, the configuration lines that go in httpd.conf for webapp are entirely different than what is required for mod_jk. They serve the same function, but they are entirely different connectors. It will take some reading to make the transition.

Answers to your questions are yes, and yes. You need a connector between them, and mod_jk.so is one such connector.
However, I had a devil of a time locating any connector on the apache.org website, and I never was able to make mod_jk work (I tried using the version that did work with my Tomcat 3.2 installation, but it did not work with 4.1 and I was not able to locate mod_jk---any version---on the apache website in order to rebuild).
I ended up using mod_webapp.so, which is another connector.
It's located in the jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.1.12-src.tar.gz, which you can download from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/sr
c/
(the same directory as tomcat itself).
When you unpack it, look for README.txt in the webapp directory. It will tell you how to build the connector from CVS. Follow the directions in the readme. They're clear, straightforward, and the build process was smooth and routine, for me at least. Jerry

Hi all,--
I am fairly new to using Apache / Tomcat. I currently have my website set up in Apache, running in the /var/html directory. I have installed Tomcat because I have a form page (HTML) that I want to run a servlet with to process a credit card payment with an outside payment processor. I have seen
some instances that people have stated I have to do some special
configuration in order to use both Apache and Tomcat together. Is this so?
If so, then are there any good resources for this?
Perhaps using JSP for the form will be better because I want a custom page to display depending on what error message will come back from the payment
engine. If that is the case then wouldn't I need the connection between
Apache and Tomcat? (the images I will need for the JSP page is stored in
apache web directory as well). Is this the mod_jk plug in? (I am running
RedHat Linux 7.3)
Thanks in advance!
